IPEDS Settings

Use this page to manage settings that control reporting for IPEDS, including the Fall Enrollment, 12 Month Enrollment, Completions, and GRS reports.

IPEDS is the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System of the US Department of Education (DOE).

Tip

Because the settings may have an impact on many users and records, most settings have instructions and reminders on the settings page and a Learn more link for more information. Most settings have an Edit this section button to allow you to make and save changes safely.

Warning

Changes to registration settings can impact current and historical student records and other important information. Before making changes, make sure you have a consensus of stakeholders, and make sure you have data backed up. Experiment with a play database before making changes in your live database.
